Thebe Phetogo's paintings call into question the construction of identity pertaining to Black bodies. Drawing from references to anatomy, and cinematic green screens, Phetogo's deliberate use of colours serve as a metaphor for a painting’s potential to be a screen onto which new images, ideas, and identities can be projected. Ultimately, his work explores the construction of personal identity and narratives, questioning how our understanding of politics and history are formed. Hauntologically situated in expression and metaphor, Phetogo's art becomes a visceral and meaningful extension of self to the world.

Dark Forest

Eclecadweb_12024-02-14T10:32:43+02:00

Entering the Dark Forest, we find the fractal beauty of trees and mossy ravines reflected in deep waters. Small crisp flickering marks merge and dissolve on the picture's surface, whilst Layzell's abstract canvases never lose their characteristic deep recession of space. Large swathes of vigorously moving, veiled and dripping paint suggest the movement, patterns and texture of rock, plant matter and water.

Girls Run The World

Our intentions, as a gallery and as a team, have always been to provide a platform that highlights and celebrates the narratives of and from the African continent and so, by hosting a group exhibition in August each year, our focus turns towards sharing the stories of woman and non-binary artists. This means turning towards conversations around the impact of gender, its definitions, and the constraints that shape and reflect society at large.
